Saleen Automotive, commonly known as Saleen, is an American manufacturer of specialty high-performance sports cars and high-performance automotive parts. Saleen is headquartered in Corona, California, USA. On June 26, 2013 Saleen Automotive, Inc became public through a reverse merger. It is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and is controlled and majority owned by Saleen brand founder Steve Saleen.
Saleen's flagship car is the Saleen S7, introduced in 2000. The S7 was wholly built by Saleen and features a mid-engine design in a high-performance supercar package. It is also currently the only Saleen production car not based on an existing design or chassis.
Saleen currently manufactures the S302 (Mustang-based), S620 (Camaro-based), the S570 (Challenger-based), the GTX (Tesla Model S-based) and most recently have announced that they are in development of a new Saleen supercar, a successor to the S7 supercar
Saleen GTX
Since 1983, Saleen has become synonymous with the passion for American performance, recognizable styling and the Racing Heritage that embodies our vehicles. Custom styling, and high-performance handling are only a few ingredients that embody our show-stopping, high-performance supercars that enthusiasts eagerly search for in a Saleen creation. Utilizing a 3-phase, four pole AC induction motor this all-electric sedan produces up to 691HP and incredible on-demand torque giving this model an incredibly unique electric drive system.
In addition to increased performance, each Saleen vehicle also receives a myriad of additional upgrades including Aerodynamics and Aesthetics, braking, and Saleen specific suspension components that all work together balancing out the "Speed, Science and Style" trifecta that is embedded in each Saleen vehicle produced. Handling on the GTX model is maintained by the Saleen S4 specific-rate springs, S4 shocks & struts, swaybars and bushings creating a complete suspension system; with ground control managed by the Saleen styled 21" wheels and Z rated tires. Aerodynamics and Aesthetics on the GTX include a rear valance redesign which incorporates a specific package consisting of a front & rear fascia, groundforce sideskirts, high downforce wing and front and rear splitter/ diffuser package.
As part of the Saleen manufacturing process, each vehicle is cataloged and serialized with its own unique Saleen VIN, a process that lends itself to the collectability and high resale values that Saleen vehicles have been known for over the past 30 years. Simply put, the GTX is our most advanced electric performance vehicle produced to date.
Saleen Electric Driveline
Just like the rest of the Saleen lineup, this car is more than just an eye catching aerodynamic package. Propelling the new GTX is the 3-phase, four pole AC induction motor and copper rotor with the upgraded Saleen drivetrain including an all-new 11.39:1 final gear ratio for quicker acceleration. Also new for the GTX is a Saleen specific MAXGRIP locking differential that allows each wheel to efficiently apply rotational force and maximize traction and grip in performance environments. All of the Saleen engineered driveline components increase efficiencies in torque management, give a track capable throttle response, and provide faster acceleration. Overall the GTX is a well-balanced vehicle and sounds great too!
Electric motor cooling has also been made more productive from the Saleen high-efficiency drivetrain cooling system. Comprising the system is a larger volume radiator, upsampled cooling fans, and a high-flow water pump to help maintain consistent temperatures in more stressful performance applications.
